Good Morning! Jen, I don't miss those days full of meetings and calls. My PT went okay. It's going to be some time before I can start running but at least it won't be impossible. I have posterior tibial tendinitis/dysfunction so I need to strengthen the muscles surrounding it. Eventually, we will be working on hips and core too. I learned that my calf muscles are too strong and tight- lol. For now, exercises to stretch the tendon, brace all the time (trying elliptical without a boot), ultrasound therapy ( I think that's what it's called) and ice when needed.
QOTD: I like it but I think it's the whipping cream on too for me.
TSS: 8 years 1 month

D: Grilled chicken salad with butter lettuce, feta cheese,and boiled egg, sliced orange/banana, and 2 squares dark chocolate

E: Elliptical, with a brace today. At PT, she was worried I'd hurt my back, knees or hips if I continue using the elliptical with the boot.

I hope the elliptical without the boot goes well. I think a good PT is worth their weight in gold so hopefully this one is good and will help you quickly!

Hope you get relief soon and glad to see you still have running as an end goal!
